Build Outdoor Spaces You'll Actually Use

Custom Outdoor Living Construction in Greenville, Texas

Your backyard in Greenville has potential, but right now it's just grass and a patio slab. You want a space where you can cook, gather around a fire, or sit in the shade without hauling everything inside when the weather shifts. Outdoor living structures like kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, pergolas, and gazebos turn your yard into a functional extension of your home, built to handle sun, rain, and regular use.

Sickels Roofing and Construction, LLC designs and builds custom outdoor living spaces that integrate with your property's layout and existing structures. We handle everything from site prep and foundation work to framing, roofing, and finishing. In Greenville, we account for wind exposure, drainage, and how your outdoor space connects to decking, concrete, and fencing already in place or planned for the future.

What Goes Into Building an Outdoor Structure

We start by reviewing your yard and identifying where utilities, drainage, and access points are located. For outdoor kitchens, we plan for gas, electric, and water lines, and install countertops, cabinetry, and grills that hold up to weather and heat. Fire pits and fireplaces require proper venting, heat-resistant materials, and clearance from structures and plants. Pergolas and gazebos are framed with treated lumber or metal, anchored to concrete footings, and roofed or left open depending on how much shade and rain protection you need.

After construction, you'll have a space with stable footing, functional utilities, and finishes that resist fading, cracking, and moisture damage. An outdoor kitchen gives you a cooking area that doesn't require trips inside. A pergola provides defined shade and a structure for lighting or fans. A fireplace or fire pit creates a gathering spot that extends your outdoor season into cooler months.

We don't build outdoor structures on ungraded ground or in areas where water pools after rain. If your project involves multiple features—like a kitchen, pergola, and fire pit—we coordinate construction so plumbing, electrical, and structural work happens in sequence. The result is a cohesive outdoor space that feels intentional and works with the rest of your property.

Questions That Come Up During Planning

Homeowners in Greenville often ask about material durability, utility requirements, and how outdoor structures fit with existing features. These are the questions we address most often before starting a project.

What's included in a custom outdoor kitchen?
A custom outdoor kitchen typically includes a grill, countertop workspace, storage cabinets, and access to gas, electric, and water lines. We can also add sinks, refrigerators, and overhead structures for shade depending on your needs and budget.
How long does it take to build an outdoor living space?
Most projects take two to four weeks depending on size, complexity, and whether utilities need to be extended. We provide a detailed timeline after reviewing your property and design plans.
What's the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?
A pergola has an open slatted roof that provides partial shade and supports climbing plants or fabric coverings. A gazebo has a solid roof and is fully enclosed or semi-enclosed, offering more weather protection.
Why should I build outdoor structures at the same time as decking or concrete work?
Building them together lets us coordinate footings, drainage, and material staging without damaging finished work. It also ensures everything aligns visually and structurally from the start.
What maintenance does an outdoor kitchen or fireplace require?
Outdoor kitchens need periodic cleaning of grills, countertops, and cabinetry, plus inspection of gas and water lines. Fireplaces and fire pits should be checked annually for cracks, soot buildup, and proper venting.
